Newcastle fans are delighted after Joselu marked his full debut for the club with a goal against West Ham at St James’ Park.

The Spaniard got the first goal in a 3-0 win over West Ham as the Magpies’ season finally found lift off after three successive defeats.

His inclusion provoked much debate prior to the match with many feeling Aleksandar Mitrovic deserved the nod.

Nonetheless Joselu repaid the faith shown in him by Rafa Benitez when he rounded off a superb team move.

Mikel Merino picked the ball up in midfield and threaded a sublime pass into the box for Christian Atsu to latch on to. The Ghanaian quickly adjusted his feet, squared the ball across the face of Joe Hart’s goal and Joselu was on hand to tap the ball into the empty net.

It may not have been extravagant, but it got him off the mark for the season and provided the catalyst for victory, with Ciaran Clark and Mitrovic both getting in on the act with goals of their own.

And Newcastle fans were delighted to see their new forward grab his first goal in front of the Gallowgate End.
